This medium wide Wall Malgarr (shield) features Budja the Platypus Design and is handcrafted in Australia from Australian Red Cedar timber.
Traditionally, malgarr (shields) were used with liyangayil (fighting clubs) for hand-to-hand combat with our enemies. I have replicated the shape of these shields in my artwork.
Budja the Platypus is a good indicator of the health of our rivers and waterways. Budja is a busy little fella that lives in the water and on the land. Budja lays eggs to produce its offspring.
All designs are based on traditional symbols from South East Australia. Each artefact comes with an information card about Mick Harding the artist, the artefact and its design.
